[QUOTE="ZuluCollector, post: 10781, member: 22"] I'm with Doc. I think it's bad form to "remodel" pipes, especially pieces that are rare, precious, or historically important. In many countries - and not just places where reactionary types hang "liberal" on their laws, to destroy or modify patrimony will land you in jail or worse. Of course it might be a stretch to think of a pipe as patrimony, but I sure as the dickens have that kind of respect for my good pipes. I don't know where this "I can do what I want with my stuff" notion of property rights came from, but it has no basis in legal history or in common law. But I suppose reasonable people can disagree. From my point of view, just because something is legal doesn't make it right. Someone might have the right to rusticate a Sixten, but I sure wouldn't think much of anyone who did so. [/QUOTE]
